super power

I spend way too much time thinking about the age old question, "If you could have any super power, what would it be?" My answer to that question changes on a regular basis. During baseball season my super power would be the ability to correctly call pitches from anywhere in the ball park. That way, when the asshole sitting next to me in the nosebleed section past 3rd base screams at the ump that the ball was a strike or a ball, I can calmly explain that the umpire has the best vantage point to correctly call pitches, which is why the umpire is not sitting in the nosebleed section past 3rd base, and then I can also explain my super power and tell them whether the call was good or not and then shut them up for good.

Now that the Tigers have ended their, and for the most part, my, baseball season, I have a new answer.

Today I would be invisible. I want to be invisible for one reason. I want to eavesdrop on Biden's debate practice sessions with Jennifer Granholm. I think it would be absolutely hysterical to see Granholm attempt to channel Sarah Palin. I'm sure they are very serious about these preparations. I hope they are very serious about these preparations. At the same time, I think it would be really funny.
